They were telling dog stories. The
doctor was there and It came to his
turn.
II knew a dog once that had sense.
This dog belonged to friend Of mine
who used TO take him out with him
once in while. One night his master
took him down town. The master
went In TO call on friend and the dog
was left outside. 1t wis all right Tor
an hour or two. There was lots of
fun with boys and Cinnamon an /
other dogs, but by and by the boys
and the Cinnamon and the other dogs
went home and this dog was LEI alone.
He slept for little, then he whined
for little, then he went to sleep
again, then he woke up mad and be-
gan to bark. An empty champagne
bottle was thrown from window
above and just missed his head. When
1t had broken in pieces he went up
and smelled the pieces carefully. He
sat himself down patiently and was
sound asleep when the door suddenly
opened, and before he knew 1t he felt
somebody wiping his feet upon him,
under the impression that he was a
doormat. Although disguised in IL
quor he knew the voice that said,
"Goori, ole boy" 1t was his master
ellis master stepped down stairs,
went in by little side gate, under the
impression that he was going to the
street, and began walking over the
flower beds. The dog followed
Then the master gave lurch and fell
over rosehush, and after raising him
self sufficiently to take off his boots
and throw them over the garden wall
he lay down quietly and went to sleep
The dog barked in his ear, but he only
said 'Allri', Marie; III get up in 1
minit,' and went to sleep again. The
dog kept watch till the milkman camt
along, who, recognizing him and hav
ing to drive up that way, took hin
home. "Well, week or two late
the man took the dog with him ant
went to the same friends house. ant
left the dog outside. The dog didn'
wait. He simply trotted away. But
although his selfrespect demanded tn
desertion, his fidelity demanded som
thoughtfulness.

The following often acts satisfactorily in
removing old ink stains from polished ma

of nitre to teaspoonful of water, dip a
feather into this mixture and touch the ink

the spot at once with rag wet with clear
water. then dry and polish. This is to prevent
